Relapse is a part of the whole problem with alcohol. I went back out after 9 years. Don't be embarrassed to go back for help. I am very fortunate that I got back. It's been over 17 years now. You can do it --- if you want it bad enough. Best wishes.

Man, I can't tell anyone how to stay sober. If its not for you then I get it.

I will tell you the thing that saved me was getting a sponsor and working the steps. Quitting was easy for me. I just wasn't happy till I worked the steps. I was walking down the road of a dry drunk. Working the steps really gave me peace of mind.

Congrats on two months. Truthfully, most guys who "give up" drinking never make it to two months. AA groups give away less than half the number of 2 month chips as they do 24hr chips.

Absolutely you should and no I am not a sponsor, I have never even been to a meeting. Seriously though if you have an opioid addiction you need to see a doctor that will give you suboxone and you will set.
